11.11.11.11 - Trochaic Tunes1.
Onward! Christian soldiers marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus going on before
Christ, the Royal Master leads against the foe
Forward into battle; see! His banners go
Refrain
Onward! Christian soldiers marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus going on before
2.
At the sign of triumph Satan’s legions flee
On then, Christian soldiers on to victory
Hell’s foundations quiver at the shout of praise
Brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise
3.
Like a mighty army, moves the church of God
Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod
We are not divided, all one body we
One in hope, in doctrine, one in charity
4.
Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdom rise and wane
But the Church of Jesus constant will remain
Gates of hell can never ’gainst that Church prevail
We have Christ’s own promise and that cannot fail
5.
Onward, then, ye people! Join our happy throng
Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song
Glory, laud and honour unto Christ the King
This through countless ages, men and angels sing
Amen
